South America and Antarctica
I've quit my job, sold my apartment and most of my belongings, and bought a one-way ticket out of the country. The rough plan is to travel around South America with a detour of a few weeks to visit Antarctica. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going or for how long. All I know is that the first stop is Canada.

Craft Beer Heaven

On my way to South America I'm stopping in Montreal, Canada for a few days, a few days of great views, impressive/weird/fun architecture, cool street art, and a lot of craft beer.
